Normally i wouldn't consider this, but recently one of the kids balls fell into the pipes causing a sewage backup into the house, permanently damaging my original hardwood floors.

As a landlord, I recently received a Request for Proposal ("RFP") from a non-profit that is seeking office space. 

Looking at a few a off-market properties it seems like the smaller ones in good areas have great potential, but only for major rehabs - simple floor and paint jobs just don't have margins to make sense. 

Issue is, my brother would live the basement and try to rent the first floor out (house hack).

In my personal experience (might have just been the individual and not representative of the company), they did not get up on the roof, they did not get into the crawl space, and they missed a handful of minor but worthy issues I would have noted inside the house.

Looking to see if you guys bulk buy your standard remodeling items(flooring,appliances, plumbing).
